  I love anything Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows put out! My Imaginary Mary is about two young women. They are fictionalized versions of Mary Shelley (here she isn't married yet, so her last name is Godwin) and Ada Lovelace.  Mary loves to write and comes from a literary family, but hasn't been feeling very inspired lately. She's also in love with one of her father's apprentices, Percy Shelley. Ada loves math, science, and inventing things, but does not get along well with her mother.  The two girls find out from one of Ada's tutors, Ms. Stamp, that they are fae. Not fairies! Fae in this world have the ability to magically create anything with just the right tools and their minds. Well, Mary's fae powers awakened first, Ada has trouble with hers. Together, they create Pan, a talking humanoid robot who can move and perform many tasks just like a regular human.  However, a mad scientist finds out about Pan, and he want to pass off the girls' in...

So I first saw this tag over on the YouTube channel of Mara from bookslikewhoa (check out her video here !), but the tag is originally from another book blog It's a Books World (the original post here ).  As always, I never tag anyone, so feel free to do this tag if you see it! I'd love to see your answers. 1. An overhyped classic you did not like.  Yikes, I have too many answers for this one! I've already said Pride and Prejudice before in two other book tags I did (the first time I did the Unpopular Opinions book tag and Musicals Go Bookish tag ), so I will go with another one I didn't like that I haven't mentioned yet, and that's The Outsiders by SE Hinton . I had this book as a required reading way back in middle school and I thought the story was sooo sad! Even my 12 year old self couldn't understand why we had to read it for school. Even now as an adult I would not consider reading it for fun. Reading about gangs fighting each other is sooo not my th...

TW: Brief mentioning of death This is book 2 of the Lady Janies series by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows. My Plain Jane is a historical fantasy retelling of Jane Eyr e by Charlotte Bronte. It follows the perspective of three characters: Charlotte Bronte (yes, she's a character in this book), Jane Eyre, and a new character named Alexander Blackwood.  The story begins at Lowood School where the headmaster, Mr. Brocklehurst, has been murdered. No one knows who did it, but all the students and even some teachers are rather happy that Mr. Brocklehurst is no longer around tormenting them. At the same time, Charlotte, a student at the school, wants to be a writer, and is trying to write a fictional account of her friend Jane, a student who likes to paint. Jane also has the ability to see ghosts, which she at first tells no one about, and is constantly talking to the ghost of her dead friend, Helen Burns. One day after sneaking out to a pub near the school, Jane sees a ghost...
